I think it is so cool that he can do that! It is crazy that he has made so many, and not only made them for show but they work! I wonder how much money he spends buying strings and old stringed instruments so he can use the neck. 🎸🎻🎼🗑

It's crazy how every day devices can be turned into crazy things like instruments like the ax. You would have to really see what it could look like int the end.⛏🎸🎻🎺🎷

That was so cool! It's cool how that man take pieces of garbage and and turns them into instruments. The golf club guitar and snowshoe cello were my favorite instruments. I wonder if different items make different sound. I make drums out of random objects all the time.

This was AMAZING. How would anyone think of that I see trash every where but I don't think it's special or anything it looks like trash but this guy turned it in to instruments and crazy things WOW big props to him. The spoon was my favorite one I love the way it sounded.

That was so cool/ mind blowing. It was cool how he made instruments from old trash. I wish I could do that. I wonder how he came up with the idea to make the trash sound exactly like real instruments. I wonder why he wanted to use garbage, why did he not buy something new. I would not like using trash to make something. I noticed that he used stuff from the size of a pencil to the size of a golf club or furniture.

That is cool! I like how he looks at some trash and sees an instrument. Some of those things he made sounded really good. But all he showed is we're strong instruments. I would have liked to see if he could use garbage to make other kinds of instruments. It reminds me of a time I made a tiny little guitar using yarn, tape, and a piece of cardboard. It didn't make sound, but my materials were limited.

I think it's funny how it started with an axe and some people call a guitar an axe! I really liked the sound of the golf club and the spoon. I saw him use a pencil as a guitar and I think that is really cool! I wonder what the mannequin sounds like? I wonder what the pencil sounds like too.

That is super creative! He's taking everyday or extraordinary objects and turning it into music!🎶🎶 I wonder what objects he has used over the years?

# data[].attributes.body
Those were really, really cool instruments! That was awesome how he could turn everyday items into instruments! 🗑= 🎷🎺🎸🎻🎼

WOW!! That is soooo cool! I wonder if we could do that and make AWSOME musical instruments from trash. At my brothers concert they have a trash can band.🗑🗑🗑🗑🗑=🎷🎺🎸🎻🎼

# data[].attributes.body
I think that that man must be very musical to play all of those instrument. That axe must have been very inspirational.

# data[].attributes.body
Even though I'm not in Band or Orchestra I think that these instruments are really cool. I like how the instruments are made out of different things for example the guitar was made out of a shovel and I thought that was really cool. Also, it had one of our old WMC Words in it (quirky). 👏🏻🎷🎺

# data[].attributes.body
Wow,I'm speechless. That was amazing how he made instruments from household objects like tennis rackets and golf clubs. That was definitely my favorite curiosity this year.

This is weird how someone looked at a axe and thought that a old axe kinda looks like a guitar.Its really amazing how he made hundreds of string instruments from garbage

# data[].attributes.body
I thought that this man was really resourceful because instead of buying new and expensive things, he uses old garbage to make quality sounding "garbage instruments." 🥁🎷🎺🎸🎻🎼.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, I thought that this was quirky and unique. He makes instrumental trash! I wonder if he sells his instruments or if he gets the trash from a certain place.

# data[].attributes.body
Wow. That is so cool, I can't believe you can make such beautiful music out of, trash! I don't really know how they work, but they still sound amazing. I wonder how long he will continue to make these trashy instruments (I'm kidding).

# data[].attributes.body
That Monday Curiosity was amazing! I noticed that he had many string instruments instead of band instruments. He is not only a musician, but he is also a recycler. I felt completely relaxed listening to him play. I hope he keeps creating and playing new instruments. It shows that this stuff was not trash, but was items waiting to be reused

# data[].attributes.body
I thought that this invention was very interesting. I am wondering if he sold his pieces and how he learned to play all those instruments. I am interested to know what he turned the pair of crutches into and what he used to keep the pieces of trash together. It looked like he was in a shop so I wonder if he started selling his pieces at that store and if he does sell them what a price he will sell them for.

# data[].attributes.body
Wow, that really caught my attention! I bet making each instrument takes a lot of time, because not only does it look cool but it also sounds great. I also wanted to know if he sells them. He should definitely make a band for them.

# data[].attributes.body
That was so cool! I noticed that he goes out into the city and collects the trash from dumpsters and sidewalks to make these amazing musical instruments. I thought at first that this was an eccentric idea, but I realized that this is actually a good idea to reduce trash.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought that this was amazing. I was amazed at how he can make these instruments so easily. I wonder if he had to learn how to play each instrument or if he just wings it. 🗑=🎻

# data[].attributes.body
That is so cool! He started in his basement! It's really cool that he builds these out of garbage. Quirky! I wonder if he would've been on curiosities if he hadn't found that axe.

# data[].attributes.body
Wow! I noticed that he has a studio for all of his things. I wonder if he is a composer. If aid were to make something like that, I would make the neck out of a ski. I wouldn't want to go around and collect trash out of dumpsters, but I would want to make the instruments.

Found Sounds: Making Instruments From Trash

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Ken Butler is a Brooklyn-based artist and musician who has built over 400 musical instruments. But these aren't just any custom-built instruments. Butler builds his pieces from discarded items he finds on the streets of New York City. Hockey sticks, tennis rackets, brooms, golf clubs, pieces of furniture, styrofoam, toothbrushes: all are fair game for his masterpieces.
